It is said that the skull is the only human body part that is as powerful dead as it was when
living. Skulls takes the reader on an eerie journey through history seen through the hollow eye
sockets of this crown jewel of the human skeleton. The book is made up of a series of short
illustrated stories laced with fascinating facts historical and medical references and
compelling anecdotes. The testimonials of thirty-plus skull collectors reveal what is known of
